One of Mark and Gillie's favorite things to do is to snuggle up and read. Over the years, Gillie has developed a very strong interest in historical fiction - particularly for fiction set in the context of the modern Civil Rights era (Booklist to follow). Mark came up with the idea that we could take a spring break tour of some of the major sites of the movement - and so that's what we are doing! Follow us as we go tour:
- Old Capitol/Dred Scott Museum - St. Louis Missouri
- Memphis and the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel
- VARIOUS sites in Montgomery, Selma, Birmingham and Tuskegee
We hope you will follow us and leave us comments with your quesitons or thoughts -- we will check this/post every day (unless we can't get connected) and are excited to share this trip with you!
